Restoring Hope and Preserving the Legacy of a Ghanaian Cultural Icon
Labadi Beach Hotel has taken a significant step to honour the enduring legacy of the late legendary Ghanaian actor Mawuli Semevo, a towering figure in Ghana’s creative arts and cultural heritage. His contributions to film, theatre, and national storytelling continue to inspire generations of creatives across the country.
Labadi Beach Hotel’s Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
As part of its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), and in response to the directive of H.E. John Dramani Mahama, Labadi Beach Hotel fully furnished the residential property that was tragically destroyed by fire. This initiative was not only about restoring a physical structure, but about rebuilding dignity, hope, and stability for a family deeply connected to Ghana’s cultural history.
Through this gesture, the hotel reaffirmed its belief that organisations must actively support communities and individuals who have contributed meaningfully to the nation’s development.
Symbolic Handover Ceremony Marks a Moment of Unity
The symbolic handover ceremony was attended by Mr. Kwasi Afreh Biney, Director-General of SSNIT, members of the Labadi Beach Hotel Board of Directors, the hotel’s Managing Director, Mr. David Eduaful, and members of the Semevo family.
The gathering reflected a shared sense of unity, compassion, and respect — honouring a man whose life’s work helped shape Ghana’s creative industry and cultural identity.
Celebrating the Life and Impact of Mawuli Semevo
Mawuli Semevo was more than an actor; he was a cultural icon and national treasure. His influence on Ghana’s arts and entertainment sector remains deeply felt, inspiring actors, filmmakers, playwrights, and storytellers nationwide. Supporting his family during this challenging time underscores the importance of protecting and upholding the legacies of those who have enriched Ghana’s cultural soul.
True Hospitality Beyond Service
At Labadi Beach Hotel, hospitality goes beyond luxury and service excellence — it is about community impact, compassion, and responsibility. This initiative stands as a testament to the hotel’s dedication to supporting meaningful causes and preserving the stories and people that define Ghana’s national identity.
Labadi Beach Hotel is proud to stand with the Semevo family, honour the memory of a legend, and contribute to preserving the legacy of a man who gave so much to Ghana’s creative and cultural landscape.
